ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.

Kuske Catechism and UOJ
Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "Does Anyone Wonder Why WELS Pastors Are So Mixed U...":
Lito, very good to hear from you my friend!
The (W)ELS also pulled a very sinister move back in 1982 when they had David Kuske revise Luther's Catechism and added the false gospel of UOJ. I'll post the quote here and note that because the Bible verses he quotes do not support UOJ he paraphrased. The brackets () are in his original statement.
Page 210, section 252 On What Basis Did God Declare Guilty Sinners To Be Righteous?
Kuske posts: Romans 3:23-26 (So that God could be a good judge and still declare sinners righteous, he had Christ pay the debt which sinners owed for all their sins.)
Heads should fly over this blatant manipulation of Luther's Catechism in order to promote and defend the central doctrine of the Emergent New Age Church Growth religion.
I'm willing to provide whatever UOJ documentation anyone needs to educate themselves, address the doctrine of UOJ with others or call the Synod and church officials, clergy and laity to task over their promotion of this false gospel.
Christ's abundant blessings to you and yours LPC!
In Christ,
Brett

GJ - One person theorized that the Kuske blue catechism created a pan-WELS UOJ unity. Before that, UOJ was not such a plague. Perhaps that spread it down to the teens. Certainly the heresy was well entrenched before that.
When someone asked me which catechism I liked, I said, "Luther's."
"No, I mean which edition of the catechism do you like?"
I said, "Luther's alone. The textbooks turn into Talmuds, and they often teach against the catechism."
